The editing is out of this world and content wise the video includes everything a beginner should consider. Well done, Sam!
🥺 Thank u so much! 💕 I tried my best 🙏
Totally agree :"). Can you share a bit on how you edit the video? Like the googling scene in your video.
Came down to comment this. The editing is absolutely amazing, honestly. Not to mention the content is so full of all the information I didn't even know I wanted to know.
This is the only kalimba guide I can find on TH-cam that is straight to the point, professionally edited, and you can tell there is no bias. It's so helpful! Thanks Sam! Liked and added to my playlist.
isn't she lovelyyyyy??? 🥺🥺🥺
Yesss🥺
Magandang dalaga. 😍
Yes, she is🥺
isn't she wonderful isn't she precious
(this is a song)
4:57 "However, I do have a bias for cat shaped kalimbas."
Instant sub. My cat also loves your covers.
Script 💯
Editing 💯
Content 💯
aaaaaaaa u da beeeest 💗💗
I tried my best 🙏
The word "Perfect" isn't enough to describe "Perfection" of this video. How sensational you make us feel while learning how to choose our own kalimba.
I’ve bought a 17-key kalimba 2yrs ago out of curiosity and never really touched it 😅 but now I’ve started playing it cause I wanted to play the ost’s from the animes I’ve been watching and I got addicted! It’s so soothing and helps me relax from my work. I’m so happy to be playing another instrument aside from the guitar and ukulele ❤
Thank you for this wonderful video, Sam! We can imagine the time and effort put into this, and we truly appreciate it. We are very honoured to be mentioned alongside a few other great kalimbas. So happy to know that our little QT is bringing smiles to many people who are planting trees with us! Always looking forward to your gentle, engaging content 😌❤🌲
I'm very grateful to have a kalimba brand like you that gives back to the environment and let's everyone enjoy a well designed Kalimba at the same time. ☺️ Thank you for your amazing efforts!
I plant trees in the burnt parks of my city. I appreciate the work you do. I'll tell every musician and instrument enthusiast from my group about your business. Cheers!
Hello Quokka tunes and I really appreciate your work . I really love this kalimba but want to ask a silly question. That is - When would it be available in India ? I really want to buy it but it seems a bit unavailable here . Could you please pleade help??
What a great guide for those looking for a kalimba, love how well it's put together along with the cute animations. Also you have an ASMR-like voice for sleep 💤
the whole video is so aesthetically pleasing💗💗💗
OH-MY-GOD! What an AMAZING video!!! Not only the content is very useful and carefully written it also has so much details, with smart and funny draws, nice animations, awesome pictures and takes. It deserves a billion views! Thank you VERY MUCH for this video, Sam!! Out of curiosity, how much time it takes to produce a video like this?
Hello Renato, your comment brought a huge smile on my face. Thank you for making my day and appreciating my video. For the duration of the video process, I took the shots of the kalimbas for 1 week and also made the script, and voice over during this time. Then another week focused mainly on editing the video itself, making the animations and everything else. ☺️ I hope that helped~
@@SamSalvador thank you for your reply, Sam. Wow, it's impressive. Are you studying cinema or anything related? You have serious and solid skills on this!! Yesterday after watching your video I went directly to an instruments store and bought a hollow Kalimba! Thank you again for this very nice video =)
I'm a beginner. I wanted to buy a kalimba that is suitable for indoor. As I am sharing a house with several acquaintance, like a dorm, I would love a kalimba that has soft sound but enough for me to hear. Your video helps me to choose which suits my surroundings. Acrylic kalimba seems good. ❤
Definitely gonna watch this again when I want to buy my 3rd kalimba! Thanks for the guide!
Glad I could help!
Omg I bought a Kalimba last year and I made a crazy research. I watched a lot of videos of each brand and I focused a lot on the quality sound. I wanted something affordable but with good quality. After a long research, I chosed the Kalimba LingTing and I’m SO happy with it. Like the sound that it makes is just so beautiful. I can tell that you have put a lot of effort in this video and I agree with all the recommendations that you have given! It will be soo helpful for all the begginers. I really like this video, it goes straight to the point and the editing it’s just amazing, I’m in LOVE with it! 💗
Which model Ling Ting did you get?
@@mariannes5309 I bought the Kalimba Ling Ting LT-K17A, it has 17 keys and it comes with some great accessories including a case! I’m so happy with it ☺️ it looks and sounds perfect after two years and the quality is amazing, I’m pretty sure that you will enjoy it
Oh ur so preettyy may god bless you
And the editing is amazing
Aww thank u! I'm glad you liked it 💕
ahh this aesthetic is so cute!! this really helped with choosing a kalimba too!
I'm very happy to hear that! Glad you enjoyed the video 💕
Good video! I bought a Kalimba recently to have something quiet-ish to play around with. For hollow kalimbas, I found the Mirio EQ 17 key to be wonderful so far. It's usually $30 but I got it on sale for about 20. It has a beautiful deer design for the hole and it's designed to be less straining for smaller hands, and I got the one that had the dark teal-blue gradient finish, but they are in various colors. There are holes in the back that can help you make some effects and quality shifts easily, and it's really light but sturdy. It comes with a very strong case, a tuning hammer, a wiping cloth and stickers, but it also has a jack to plug into an amp or computer, which to me was important for a few reasons concerning recording. Even though I'm happy with this Kalimba for now, I will reference this guide when considering another Kalimba if I ever want or need to buy a different one. I might get more hollow ones and maybe one or two that aren't hollow; I love the sound of hollow acoustics but a quieter one might also be useful.
I'll be watching some of your other videos to learn more about this pretty little instrument. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
P.S. I think I might one with a chain accessory at some point, it sounds so nice, but then again kalimbas generally sound so nice.
This is a very thorough, and beautifully produced buying guide, I LOVE it! Thank you very much! I will recommend it to any and all people interested in getting into kalimbas.
My partner sent me a post of a Kalimba so now I’m intending on purchasing one. I don’t resonate with sound/singing bowls personally but I feel like this will be perfect I’m so excited
Thank you for this! Very helpful and detailed!
Wow, wonderful, thank you so much! ❤
As a beginner, I found this video to be best from everything .
Thanks !
Thank you so much, Sam! There is great information here! I am about to make my first purchase, and this video was so valuable!
This video is so well made! I just recently found out what this instrument was about a week ago and this video is such a great introduction to them! Leaning towards the hollow kalimba, but the acrylic one sounds really good as well! Thank you so much for the buying guide!
It's impressive how well put together this video is
Thank you so much! This was extremely helpful 🤍✨!
I agree with Reka, this editing is amazing and also this was a very very helpful video. I now know what kalimba to get now
Just what I needed to know, thanks!
This is the best guide I've ever seen on TH-cam. Amazing job
So helpful ! This is awesome, thank you for sharing so much information !
I'm so thankful this video exists. I wanted to get myself a kalimba, but I was so lost on which one to get. I wanted to go for a arcylic bear, because of the aetestetic but this video changed my mind. I just ordered a lingting k17a flat kalimba, and I would never even know it existed if it weren't for you, so thankyou so much :)
Thank you so much!! Im just now discovering Kalimbas and this helped me so much
What an impressive video! This deserves a heck load of views. I have never seen any other guide that’s this well-presented and well-written.
Subscribed!
Terrific review! Seriously, great attention to detail, execution - and viewer need! - plus terrific production quality. New to Kalimbas, looking to buy one as a gift, and got lucky as yours was the first video I chose - all done - thank you!
Amazing video! This was extremally helpful in my decision to buy my first Kalimba!! The beginning introductions of what to look for and the layout of what you get for each one you recommend was very helpful and easy to understand. Thank you so much for this video! You just gained a new subscriber!
Wow! Such a detailed explanation and beautiful video!! 🤎👏🏾
I cannot find the words to praise the quality and content of this video. I stumbled upon an Instagram video of someone playing a kalimba and was intrigued. So I started looking into the instrument, and this video is just the thing I needed. I really loved it and I'm very impressed. Much love ❤️!
Wow! Thank you!! So beautifully organised content and so beautifully presented. Thank you once again 🙏
Thank you so much!! This video completely sums up the most important things to keep in mind :) It's not often that I find a video where I don't feel like i need to search for other vids on the topic!
Thank you! I was going to get a hollow but this one changed my mind! Definitely going with a 17 key flat! It will suit my needs much better. 😊🥰
The visual is so good!♥️
Wow! Thank you so much for this thorough and well thought out guide! I love percussion and want to add the kalimba to my collection but I was lost in how to start and what to consider. This covered everything! We can tell you are dedicated and I am sure you are a great player!
PS - Thank you for mentioning the notes for smaller hands. That definitely makes a difference!
Thank you Sam for doing this video. I have been considering for a year to get one. This video really explains and answers alot of questions. Didn't realize differences. I've saved this to re watch this so I can decide which I WANT. I have been having trouble with my left thumb so I think this would be therapy for it, maybe lol. Thanks again.
I first saw the Kalimba when a colleague of mine shared his hobbies with the team. Your video has provided me with a good introduction to the instrument. An excellent video, thanks.
The best video I've watched. Straight to the point, concise, useful info.
Thanks!
I love how instead of talking , you are explaining and showing everything

I just bought the cat-shaped one, and then I found this video looking for tutorials.. I resonate with you 😆
Easily the best and most helpful tutorial for kalimba beginners. Thank you!! For me, personally, I like how the acrylic looks, but the flatboard has the best sound for me.
This helped me so much ❤️
Tysm queen :D
Very clear guide. Brava! ♥️

Thank you! Very helpful and well done.
YOU HAVE CLEAN KALIMBA!!!❤️😍
Came here looking for recommendations and reviews on Kalimbas. I couldn’t keep focusing on the content as the video editing excellence with little efforts was drawing my attention. Let’s all take a minute to appreciate how well-organized and informative this video is.
Thank you so much this is just what I needed☺️
man this is the best purchase guide on the entire youtube, not only about kalimba.😮
wow thank you so much for this super high-quality video! And I really appreciate how much you researched for the recommendations 🤯 I think im going to get the $40 flatboard one ^_^ I'm an art student making a short film for my senior thesis , so I want to use the kalimba for the soundtrack !!
I love the sound that comes from these instruments. Im thinking of getting 1.
Thank you so much!!! I want a kalimba for Christmas but I knew nothing about them (and neither do my parents) so this video saved me hours! TYSM!!!!!
this is so helpful! thanks!!!
Thank you for this video, it was so helpful and clear. Thanks to this I was able to choose my first Kalimba to learn on (the Lingting LT-K17A) , I'm very excited to have it show up and to get started :D
Thank you! This video was so helpful
Thank you. This was incredibly detailed and incredibly helpful!! I hope you make some performing videos, too.
Wonderful video, thx a lot!
This is a very well thought out and informative video. great job
HON KILLIN IT AGAIN WITH ANOTHER VIDEO
Oooh! Thank you for the feedback ☺️ I'm new to flatboard kalimbas and this information really helped me. I'd love to be able to try more flatboards in the future to understand them better.
Thank you for the elaborate explanations. I am new to Kalimba and I really find the video helpful. New subscriber here!
Thank you so much for this video!
This is top notch video on guiding how to choose a kalimba 😊. It’s very nice of you .
Kuddos to you for so much hard work on editing. Very well done and put
This vid did a great job on Kalimba analysis.
As a kalimba user for 2 years, I fell in love with hollow kalimba more.
I dont like to play kalimba indoors, it feels better and keeps my mind in peace when i play it outdoors and expecially at the green field, countrysides or when i go hiking.
Also my bunny hate it when i play indoors, because the echo make him stress, but she likes to stay near me and enjoy the sound when i play it outdoors.
And with my experience, if you go for a Kalimba, just go straight to 21keys one. The key is thinner and the tone is so good. And it can play both 17 keys and 21 keys song.
Thanks to your video, the search for my first kalimba have narrowed down to the hollow one, and all that's left is whether my choice falls on lingting's or gecko's 👌🏻
This is such a lovely and helpful video what would I do without your videos 🥰
i can really tell how much effort and care you put into your videos. thank you! much love
I really appreciate this comment 💕 thank you for taking your time to leave it!
Demnnn this video is so PERFECT and ON POINT! amazingly explained every teeny tiny detail..perfectly distinguished....n the Main the only video I found on yt with this info for kalimba!✨
The video was aesthetically pleasing thank you so much for your effort and information that was useful, bless your soul
Ayyy u included RM currency. I might buy a hollow type one day cuz i love music box sounds. Also, ur voice is so clear crisp & nice to hear
